Susan Cain – TED2012

Amazing TED talk on introversion/leadership/creativity.

First, it’s great to see a self-proclaimed introvert give such an amazing TED talk and to also receive a standing ovation.

Second, I agree on so many levels, from our “cultural inheritance” of a bias towards extroversion in institutions such as school and work, to her several examples of introverted transformational leaders, influential artists, and prolific thinkers, including her own grandfather!

Third, I’m married to an introvert and I have witnessed countless occurrences of her frustration for always “speaking too softly” in restaurants, over the phone, and pretty much any other time she has to talk to strangers.

about.me

I have professional experience coupled with an advanced degree in I-O psychology, as well as varied experience in startups, a corporate university, public educational institutions, and reporting to C-level leadership in program management and account management roles. Although I currently live in Florida, I am planning a relocation in the future to possibly Colorado, California, Illinois, New England, or the Pacific Northwest. I look forward to being in contact should you or your team see a potential fit!
